Growth of Amateur Photography.

The rapid growth of amateur photogra-
ply is forcibly indicated by the number
and size of the amateur Photographic So
cieties. AL the large and many of the
smaller cities have now one or more asso-
Citations of this sort. The Society of
Amateur Photographers, Of New York,
organized four years ago, is now large
and prosperous organization, holding an
nual exhibitions and awarding diplomas
for the best examples of work in different
fields. The society's influence has had
the effect of elevating the artistic standard
not only of amateur photography, but of
Photographic art in general. At the semi
monthly meetings the members discuss
with frankness the experiments they have
made, relate their mild vicissitudes, de-
scribe their blunders and the resultant
discoveries. No one is ashamed that no
should have made mistakes. An amateur
who had no failures would be regarded as
sort of artistic snob AS an offset to
this variety, where it exists, there is gen
orally the humorous fellow whose plates
always either 'fog" or ''frill," whose
prints freckle, and who, when he insists
on "silvering' his own paper, gets little
nitrate of silver on the end of his nose,
where it promptly bushes brown on meet
ing the sun, and can only be removed if
1t must be removed at once, with pumice

The '|Field day. has become an insti-

woe to the sensitive who get in the path of
one of these armed bodies! On these ex-
cursions the member with the detective"
usually has his best sport in practicing
on the other members, who, at the mo-
ment of Photographic crisis, are not al
ways so impressive as they themselves
could wish.

cannot believe that the country boarding

Highly Essential Oils.

came across queer old Eshmonger at
Quincy market, the other day, who had
for sale most curious variety of oils OBJ
tanned from finny inhabitants of the deep,
most of which had never heard of in my
life before. He kept them on long shelf,
in row of enormous glass bottles. Of
the contents of many of them, he said,
apothecaries bought large quantities for
medicinal purposes. In No. l, he eX-
planned, was porpoise oil, derived from the
jawbone of that interesting animal which
for lubricating watch machinery is I'M
equaled. The big sunfish of the sea sup
plies an oil-exhibited in jar No. 2-that
is highly recommended for rheumatic pa
tents, and in the treatment of this COM
plant is also employed-see jar No. j.
the oil obtained from the fat shat lies be-
meath the turtles upper shell. The oils
tried out from the entrails of cells and
pickerel are frequently prescribed, so the
vender of fish declared, for deafness. The
skins of cells, by the way, are sovereign
cure for cramps if tied around the waist.
More than half of the big bottles were
filed with cod liver oil. OF this the pro-
duction is, of course, far greater than that
of all the rest combined.
The process Of refining it, am tokl, is
quite -elaDOruIe. 10 tnlS-Dy luT llp-
greatest fish market in the United States
many millions Of liYers are brought
every season by salty trawlers, who sell
them at the docks to manufacturers
agents. The crude oil is passed through
boiling water, so tina. it may be thorough
ly cooked, and then poured into canvas
bags. These bags are squeezed beneath
hydraulic presses, the lard like stearine
remaining inside, while the oleine oozes
out ready to put up for the market. This
cod liver oil, of the best quality, can be
obtained from the manufacturer by any
one who cares to bring his own receptacle
at SIPS per gallon. Apothecaries charge
about this per quart. Among the rarest
of the fish products exhibited by the old
market man was melon oil-so called be-
cause it has the fragrance of the musk
melon. 1t is a secretion IN the nose Of u
pilot whale, and is the best lubricant
known-short of porpoise oil-for delicate
machinery. Its congealing point is so
low that it remains liquid with the Their
mometer at zero. Another curious oil,
which is so susceptible to cold that if
placed in a temperature where ice melts
it will freeze, is extrae ted from the fat at
the bsse of the forelegs of the Indus river
crocodile. 1t is a famous leather dressing.

Telegraph Lines In China.

One obstacle that has stood in the way
of planting that exotic, the telegraph pole,
in Chinese soil has been the widespread
belief among the peasantry that the
strange whispering wires they support
when strung along near graveyards exert
u baleful influence upon the long sleep of
their revered ancestors. As nearly every
hilltop in China is crowned by the tombs
of lamented forefathers, it has been very
difficult to select routes for telegraph
lines where the wires were not likely to
fall prey to the popular prejudice against
them. 1t is noteworthy that the great
telegraph line which is to connect Pel1in
with Europe will take short cut to the
Cobb desert, and will pass through less
than 800 miles of inhabited country in the
900 miles to Kiachta, where it win join
the Russian lines.-New York Sun.

Minimum Army Transportation.

The throwing away Of superfluous con-
veniences began at daybreak. The old
campaigner knows what to carry and
what to throw away. Each group of
messmates decided which Ratchet, stew
pan or coffee pot should be taken, The
single wagon allowed to battalion car
ried scarcely more than gripsack and
blanket, and bit of shelter tent about
the size of large towel for each officer,
and only such other material as was nee
cssary for regimental business. Trans
portation was reduced to minimum, and
fast marching was to be the order of the
day. Wagons to carry the necessary am
munition in the contingency of battle,
and few days rations in case of absolute
heed, composed the train of each army

lance for each regiment made very re-
